Douse Light. The nyctli magically dispels or douses a single magical or nonmagical light source within 30 feet of it. The nyctli can't dispel light created by a spell of 3rd level or higher.

Description

A diminutive ball of sickly-looking flesh with an elven face clings to the underside of a rotting log, its body covered in barbed stingers._
Lurking Terrors. Nyctli dwell in moist, dark places, where their coloration and size enable them to easily hide. They delight in torturing other creatures, and nothing makes a nyctli giggle more than seeing its victim flounder about under the effects of its venom.
Hag-Born Horrors. The first nyctli were born from the boils of Open Game License
